The Right Brain versus The Left Brain Test [Fun Test]

 

Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and if anti-clockwise, you use more of the left side of the brain.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

We are a result of how our left and right brains interact, or in some cases, do not interact.
It is an over-simplification to identify "left brain" types who are very analytical and orderly and "right-brain" types who are artistic, unpredictale and creative. We draw upon specific sides of our brain for a variety of daily functions, depending on such things as our age, education and life experiences. The choices of which brain is in control of which situation is what develops our personalities and determines our character.

Experiments show that most children are very (right brain) before entering school. Unfortunately our education system in the UK and Ireland places a higher value on left brain skills such as mathematics, logic and language than it does on creating or using our imagination. It is believed by the time we are adults, high creativity remains in only 2 percent of the population. I would suspect that this is somewhat higher in Ireland.
